director and the director of national intelligence The explanations for what happened and how serious of a security breach it was have been evolving I'm sure everybody out there has had a contact where you it was said one person and then a different phone number But you've never talked to him before So how's the number on your phone i mean I'm not an expert in any of this but it's just cur how's the number on your phone well if you have somebody else's contact and then it and then somehow someone sent you that sucked in Nobody was texting war plans And that's all I have to say about that
Intelligence offi cials defendedthesensitive nature
of the content denying it was classified My communications to be clear in a signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information There was no classified material that was shared Was there any mention of a target in Yemen i don't remember mention of specific targets Was there any mention Miss Gabbard of a weapon or weapons system i don't recall specific weapons systems being named How about anything about timing i don't recall specific timing Any mention of any military unit whatsoever.
Mr Rackcliffe not that I recall Miss
Gabbard Not that I recall After the administration insisted there was no classified information on the text chain Goldberg released the messages that included Defense Secretary Hegsth sharing specific details about when bombs would drop and when US jets would take off just 30 minutes before
they launched the attack National Security Adviser Mike Waltz texted that a key target of the attack had been seen walking into his girlfriend's building that had collapsed President Trump is privately angry with Waltz Two Republican sources tell NBC News the Senate Armed Services Committee has requested a formal investigation from the Pentagon's Inspector General but the FBI and the DOJ seem unlikely to investigate the matter even as pressure mounts for more accountability.
There was a crime here and there should be accountability This White House lies Um it's hypocritical It's corrupt So I don't I don't trust uh the Fox to investigate the hen house I'm also puzzled by some of the answers that were given by the DNI at the intelligence hearing I think everybody hass acknowledged including the White House that uh yeah mistake from what we want to do is make sure that something like that doesn't happen again And voter anger is growing over the issue on display at this town hall in Indiana Will you demand the immediate resation of Pete
No I will not demand that
